Stand up and Salute the Batting Genius!!
February 24th might not have been celebrated for any special occasion till now, but from now on it would not be an exaggeration to celebrate that day as an "Exhibition of Batting Skills". I have written couple of posts about the artistry involved in the beautiful game of Cricket or for any game for that matter. Cover drive is considered to be the most gorgeous stroke in Cricket. We all can play cover drive but how many of us can play this gorgeous stroke even when all 9 fielders are there inside the circle on the off side. Such is the artistry involved in this game.
I have been privileged to witness some great batting from Brian Lara when he scored 400, Mathew Hayden when he scored 380 and Hashim Amla when he displayed the power of concentration against India not so long ago. If we miss to concentrate even for a single ball, we can only find our stumps going for a toss and that is the beauty of this beautiful game. Why I say all these?? Because, the Master Blaster Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar batted throughout the innings and remained not out at 200 on the wonderful evening of February 24th. I have not seen him giving any chances what so ever during his innings. Concentrating continuously for three and half hours and score runs even after completing 20 years of International Cricket, he has to be the man whom we can look upon and say "Oh, this is how Passionate I should be in whatever I do and it is certain that I will break the record at some point of time"
I was taken by surprise when he crossed 200, not because he has made yet another record, but how can he be so greedy even after breaking so many records. But then I realized, even Greediness is good when it is mixed with Hard work and Passion!!
